<p>any more replies? preferably percentages</p>
<p>Your SAT, 1450, is below average for many of those schools. If your rank is top 5%, your legacy should help, especially at Brown If your parents are big donors, it will help a lot more. Everyone interviews. Paid for summer programs and average ECs, many of those schools will be hard.</p>
<p>JEW!!!.. Jk. still you are f'ed</p>
<p>Unlike DataDriven, I'd say for Williams and Amherst, your chances are 50/50 because my impression is that your academic background is as good as most of their applicants, of which they only accept 1/17 or something crazy like that. The essay is crucial at Amherst because they do not interview anyone. For them, focus and think about what talents or persepctive you can bring to the college community, in addition to just being a great student. </p>
<p>Wesleyan might be more interested than the others along DataDriven's line simply because Wesleyan has a strong film studies major, so would value your EC's in that area. </p>
<p>If you have academic or community EC's and interests that celebrate your Jewish heritage, it's worth describing. Otherwise, I don't know if they'll be interested in your religious/ethnic background. Figure out what it means to you and whether you've expressed it in activities or studies; how it shapes your worldview and ethics; stuff like that.</p>
